A World of Science Snapshots

Photographs have been an important part of researchers’ field notes for centuries. On Nature Photography Day, we’re highlighting just a few of the great images that Museum scientists have captured in the field in recent years.

On the Explore21 expedition to Cuba, Curator Chris Raxworthy snapped a photo of one of his herpetological interests: the tiny frog Eleuthorodactylus iberia.

And of course, photography isn’t limited to the animals our researchers study. Mary Blair, director of Biodiversity Informatics Research at the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation, is an expert on nocturnal primates known as slow lorises, but she snapped this shot of an Oriental Bay Owl during a research expedition in Vietnam.
